Art Installations and Performance by Aman Sandhu

Aman Sandhu's artwork, re-, is a performance and sound sculpture that includes five speed-cubers who will continuously be solving the Rubik's cube for two hours. Each speed-cuber will have a microphone attached to their sleeves and the sound captured will be amplified through speakers placed outside the gallery. This artwork exposes and exaggerates hidden processes while also addressing anxieties about incompletion. The Rubik's cube was created by Erno Rubik, a sculptor and architect, in 1974. He first called it the "Magic Cube", and the traditional 3x3 format has 43 quintillion possible figurations, but only one solution.

Sandhu is currently studying Sculpture at OCAD.

The mathematical equation of the Lokta-Volterra model measures the rate of change of predator to prey taking dynamics of environment into consideration. This equation proves that the predator is solely reliant on the prey and if the prey diminishes, the predator population extinguishes or finds new prey. Tamhane’s sculptural installation consists of box with a python and a rabbit separated by a clear layer. This work, titled ‘Dumb Bunny’, evolved from a series of drawings that discuss consumption and how different societies confront the natural cycle of life and death. The consumer and that which is created to be consumed are a co-dependent, co-reliant relationship that evolve together and become more and more sophisticated for each other. Tamhane is an artist and curator, currently based in Toronto, Canada, and has been exhibiting since 2009 in Delhi , Bangalore .

Doug and Debbie Grills of D & D Exotics are kindly lending an 18-foot python, who is currently under risk of being euthanized by the city of Oshawa because the company is wrongly being accused of reselling rescued reptiles and may have to shut down. The rabbit is also being lent by these owners and is not a feeder rabbit.

Reposado's (at 136 Ossington) is kindly offering half-off appetizers and $2 off their featured tequila from 7:30-8pm, while the second installation is set up.
